No solicitation needed, 32 is the only realistic option if you want to enjoy your arena

Tis true 32 would be the only reasonable arena where your apes could survive and thrive. Now, if, instead, one seeks risk and competition, then, perhaps 11, or slow 28 and 47 are the places to gravitate.

DM11 would be the competitive place to be, but it is not expected that godzilla borne and bred mutants would be interested in the burden of Andorian Honor in The Heart And Soul Of Andoria.

Whatever you do DON'T come to Tobir (DM14). It's a smaller arena with some pretty good managers so there's both challenge in the fact that most warriors are good and run well and yet it's small enough to make good smart challenges and not having to worry about other's challenges interrupting your challenges.

After all who would want to run in an arena that has Judith/Jorja/Leeta running a team that usually has high FE warriors to challenge for skill learns; with a more than fair shot to win. Seems to have some pretty reliable replacement RUs when the time comes. A good place to graduate warriors with a nominal amount that can get the throne each turn, instead of a dozen; quick Political Points with a good warrior! Despite being Andorian we don't always play nice as Tobir was always a rather deadly town. So no free ride from possible death; though we briefly were in a non-alliance/alliance together (with Apex - The Outsiders) so maybe a slight pass for you.

Anyways Tobir isn't dead and you probably won't want to come here!

The team rollups

#1 13 - 12 - 08 - 06 - 09 - 13 - 09

#214 - 04 - 20 - 11 - 09 - 04 - 08

#309 - 05 - 19 - 10 - 13 - 04 - 10

#4 04 - 17 - 06 - 05 - 13 - 11 - 14

#5 09 - 10 - 07 - 10 - 08 - 12 - 14

While my interested is focused on #2 and #3 I am looking for circa 2013 advice on these rolllups. I need to break from my +6 Wit +6 Will + 2 Deftness pattern.

I am thinking Lunger/Slasher with the big guys and I do not want a "LeGrand Striker" as I already have Land Shark.

I have a team in regular arena 21, no tournament 81, slow no tournament 83 and some relics in 102. I was happy when 21/81 and 102 all ran on the same day, but that pattern appears to have been broken.

14-4-20-11-9-4-8 -> 14-7-20-13-15-4-11 L. <modified> to 13 wit to get LO. I usually would go 17-9 wit/will on a guy like this but with 17/9 his prospects for winning look poor. I think he's too slow regardless of design to be a pure offensive, so I went with the Lunger hybrid.

#2 14 - 04 - 20 - 11 - 09 - 04 - 08 ----> 15-4-20-17-15-4-9 LU/SL or 17-4-20-17-9-6-11 ST/BA ( not a LeGrand Striker but a "Street Striker"!) I regularly run 17 WT/9 WL/11 DF Strikers with sometimes just good damage to 60-70% w/l records. Could go 15 ST/ 8 SP but looks like 17 ST puts Devastating Damage in play! May start with just 7 ATT/ 7 DEC but it does have a 17 WT and you only need 1 or 2 hits to do the job anyways.

#5 09 - 10 - 07 - 10 - 08 - 12 - 14 ----> 15-10-7-16-9-12-15 PR/PS or 13-10-7-16-9-12-17 AB I'm not going the usual WT,WL, and DF raise with these and that's for sure! The PR and PS intrigue me, certainly after the recent early basic PR tourney successes (last few years). With a 15 ST decent shot at great damage which seems to be important to said tourney success. The Aimer is a pretty typical "Strike Blow" starting with 10 ATT/ 9 DEC quite like a ST "TV" candidate would be. Can even run the DEC tactic against STs if it learns DEC or run riposte/dodge tactic if it learns PAR/RIP/DEF.

I will spend some time today and evaluate 32, 11, 47 and 26.

I filled out a replacement rollup for arena 26 and got a newsletter. I could avoid 2 teams in 26 and play solitaire against NPC warriors to see if I can get my huge guys to graduate.

Here are my starting 5 warrior names:

Godzilla
King Ghidorah
Rhodan
Mothra
Biollante

I assume you'll be saving my favorite, Gamera, for a top-notch brick TP?!

Enjoy your arena selection process. If it is one of the Consortiumites habitats, we will alert our Mighty Mouse and Peewee Herman renditions to the lofty challenges.
